Moving box rental in Grimsby — reusable plastic bins
First, to be clear: these are reusable plastic moving bins with secure lids — hand-carried moving boxes that hold 102 litres each, not dumpsters or portable storage containers.
Grimsby's lakeside townhomes and escarpment properties both come with stairs, and stairs are where cardboard fails. Rigid bins with handles make the trip far easier.
We deliver along the Main Street corridor and up toward the bench for $5 per bin the first week.
$5 per bin for the first week · $1.50 per bin each extra week · delivery & pickup included.

What moving in Grimsby is actually like
Grimsby is built on a slope. Between the lakeside townhomes near Casablanca and the bench properties up against the escarpment, most homes here involve at least one full flight of stairs and often a sloped driveway on top of it.
The townhome developments by the lake are narrow and vertical — three storeys with a garage at the bottom is a common layout. That means the same box gets carried up two flights, which is where cardboard bottoms give out.
Bench properties above Main Street have longer, steeper driveways. We bring bins to the door rather than leaving them at the curb.
Local packing tips for Grimsby
Pack heavy things low and light
In a three-storey townhome, keep books and dishes to half-full bins. You will be carrying them down two flights.
Stage on the garage level
Lakeside townhomes have a ground-floor garage — bring sealed bins down the night before and load in one pass.
Mind the lake wind
Loading near the lake in shoulder season means wind. Lids stay clipped until the bin is in the truck.
Where else can you get moving boxes in Grimsby?
Grimsby has limited moving-supply retail, so cardboard usually means Stoney Creek or St. Catharines. For a 30 to 50 bin move that is two or three trips before packing even begins.
Better than U-Haul boxes
A bundle of 20 U-Haul medium cardboard boxes costs about $90.54 delivered to Grimsby — and you still buy tape, get less space per box, and recycle everything afterwards. Twenty of our 102 L reusable bins are $113 all in, with free labels and a dolly included.
You can buy cardboard at hardware and storage stores or collect used boxes for free. The simpler option in Grimsby is renting reusable plastic moving bins from Binsley — they arrive at your door for $5 per bin the first week and we pick them up when you're unpacked.
How much does it cost to rent moving bins in Grimsby?

How many moving boxes or bins do I need in Grimsby?
Townhomes and detached family homes mean 30 to 50 bins for most Grimsby moves. As a rule of thumb, about 20 bins suits a 1 bedroom, 40 a 2 to 3 bedroom, and 60 or more a larger home. Each bin holds 102 litres, roughly a medium moving box.
Which parts of Grimsby do you deliver to?

When can bins be delivered and picked up?
Deliveries and pickups run Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Choose your delivery day at checkout, then request pickup from your My Rentals page when you're finished.
Are reusable bins better than cardboard moving boxes?
For most moves, yes. One bin is reused for hundreds of moves and washed between each one, it won't collapse under weight, and the lid keeps everything dry — no tape, no assembly and nothing to recycle afterwards.
Is a moving bin the same as a dumpster or storage container?
No. Our moving bins are reusable plastic moving boxes with secure lids — each one holds 102 litres and is carried by hand, about the size of a medium cardboard box. They are not waste dumpsters or portable storage containers.

Yes — the L3M postal code is covered. We deliver across downtown Grimsby, Grimsby Beach, Grimsby on the Lake, the Casablanca corridor and up onto the bench, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
